Copper elbow Conex 90° 22 mm model 5002A022000000 for plumbing connections

Conex 90° copper elbow 22 mm (model 5002A022000000) is a precision-formed fitting for creating compact right-angle joints in copper pipe systems. Manufactured from copper to industry standards, this elbow provides a corrosion-resistant connection point suitable for potable water and central heating circuits. The fitting is intended for use in plumbing, heating and sanitary installations where a reliable 90-degree directional change is required without adding significant bulk to the pipe run.

Advantages

This copper elbow offers consistent dimensional accuracy and a smooth internal bore that minimises flow disruption and pressure loss. Its copper construction ensures good thermal conductivity and long-term corrosion resistance in typical domestic and commercial water and heating environments. The compact 90° profile allows for space-saving routing and straightforward integration with standard 22 mm copper tubing using conventional joining methods.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water pipework
• Central heating and radiator connections
• Repair, retrofit and new-build plumbing installations
• Tight installations requiring a compact 90° turn

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Nominal pipe size: 22 mm
• Connection type: slip-on or soldered joint compatible with standard 22 mm copper tube
• Typical applications: potable water and central heating circuits

How to use

Prepare and cut the copper tube squarely to the required length, deburr the cut ends and clean the external tube surface and internal fitting socket to remove oxides and contaminants. Assemble the tube into the elbow to the appropriate insertion depth and join according to the chosen method (soldering, brazing or approved mechanical joint technique). Ensure correct alignment for a true 90° change of direction and allow any soldered or brazed joints to cool undisturbed before testing the system for leaks and returning it to service.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate flux and solder rated for potable water systems when soldering, and follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidelines. Verify compatibility of jointing technique with nearby materials and use insulation or pipe supports where thermal expansion or mechanical stress may occur.
